depicted in Figure
6.16. If we choose the z-axis of the sensor coordinate system to be directed
outward along the boresight of the PSD, then given object space (X,Y,Z) and
image space (x,y, z) coordinate frames (see Figure 6.16), the ideal object to
image space projective transformation (noiseless) can be written as follows:
